Program Overview

Make money when your visitors buy Audible products and services on Amazon

Starting Feb 1, 2015, you can earn advertising fees when you refer qualifying Audible purchases with the Amazon Associates program.

What is the Amazon Associates program?

Amazon Associates, one of the first online affiliate marketing programs, has an 18+ year track record of developing solutions to help publishers monetize their websites by advertising millions of products from Amazon.com and subsidiaries like Audible.

The Associates program allows you to refer your site visitors directly to Amazon.com, where they can conveniently and securely purchase the Audible products and memberships that you advertise on your site. For each eligible Audible purchase or membership signup that you refer, you will earn a fixed advertising fee (bounty).

What Audible products can I promote, and how much can I earn?

Beginning February 1, 2015, Associates are eligible to receive advertising fees for each site visitor who signs up for an Audible membership plan and/or purchases an a la carte audiobook on Amazon.com.
